I bet you’re holding on to things with the intention of selling them someday to make a hefty profit. But you’re life is so busy and that plan keeps falling to the bottom of your to-do list. The problem is that with each and every item you plan to sell, but never get around to, your clutter increases.

A colleague of mine recently recommended Value My Stuff as a great online resource to find out the true value of the items you think you can sell and make a small fortune on. You may just find out that what you thought was a unique antique vase is really just old junk.

Unlike using Ebay or Craigslist and looking for something similar, with this service you take photos, measurements and a description and submit your particular items and they value them for you. My colleague has submitted mostly furniture and has found that they could tell her the exact decades of origin, years and other specific interesting details.
